This Is Where It Begins


So I'm thinking it isn't really real unless I have a photo on the blog. Also, I tend to be a visual learner so seeing things in real life always makes a greater impact for me. Drumroll . . . WAIT - such a bad choice of words since there are more than enough rolls to be seen here. So I'm trying to look at the positive side. I am starting this journey at 199. Pounds that is. The up side? Well it's not 200! Not wild about all that is involved with tracking food via the point system but it certainly has made me more aware of what I eat. Snacking and random eating has virtually stopped and I can't believe I'm saying this but there have been no Hot Tamales consumed this week and only a whopping 2 pretzel M&Ms. I'm only 3 days in but I'm not going to die from eating healthier that is for sure.
Oh and today is my 32nd wedding anniversary and what am I doing after work? Hitting the gym, not because I'm that good - no it's mostly because Mark has a meeting he can't get out of after work and I will have enough temptation coming my way in the next few days so I will be good despite my yearning for a big ol' something sinful!

You GO, Gaye! You can do it! I know kicking the Hot Tamales will be hard, so give yourself a couple as a treat every once in awhile! :)

Good luck and I am getting back on track this week. Need to get back to a good mental place myself.
